Show ( ' " " "" ji Notice t My attention has been called to a circular headed, "The Truth About Taxes" Issued by Salt Lako Democratic County Commtltco, and signed by C. tr. Richards, chairman, which circular undoubtedly has been sent to taxpayers. Half a truth Is generally worso than a .straight Ho. Tho roferonco to tho Utah-Idaho Sugar company refusing to pay $400,000.00 In taxe3, to my way of thinking shows tho depravity of a mind that would mnko such a statement. Tho facts aro that tho Utah-Idaho Sugar company has been taxed on every dollar of Its property In this and all other counties whero It has nny property; and nobody knows this bettor than Mr.Chnrlcs C. Richards, atlorncy-at-law. This company has been nsscssed in addition ten million dollars on what they chooso to call "Intangible assets." To my mind, this extr assessment Is un attempt to" fob tho sugar company. HEBER J. GRANT, Frcddent Utah-Idaho Sugar Co. "For many years my cousin, the late William M. Ivlns, of New YorTt, every tlmo I would call on him, said: 'Why don't you send our consln, Anthony W. Ivlns to Washington as senator Instead of Smoot? You apostles can send anybody you pjcaso. I laughingly told him ho ought to como to Utah and find out how badly he was mistaken. Tho last tlmo that I mot my cousin he eald: "I defy nny mnn to fool Ellhu Root. Ho Is In my Judgment tho brainiest man In America. He ha& boon sitting In tho Scnnto with Smoot for five years and a half nnd ho. tells mo that Smoot Is the best posted and able man on tho tariff and finance In tho United States Senate, and that It would bo almost a national calamity if. Smoot was not reelected nnd when you go homo I want you to work for Smoot to bo returned to tho Senate' I said to him 'I aw glad that you have had a change of hoirt. I although a Democrat, oxpect to do my best to havo him roturnod at the neat election." President Ilebcr J. Orant In Deserot Nows, Dccombcr 20, 1019.
